I have the black 5s and own the clear & black case already. Clear looks funny and black is too dark. How is the smoke on a black 5s?

I really like it. I preserves the look of the phone as it would be without a case. I wanted a case that would not cover up the "beauty" of the phone's design, and this is it.

Sorry - I have the Clear over the Golf 5S........ My bet is you don't like the glossy look of the clear on your black. The smoke on black would probably look good - it would also have a glossy look - but probably less so than the clear. Either way - it is an inexpensive option to try (compared to the alternatives - that include a bumper. Note: Zagg locations does have a "faceless" bumper - - - and can put the matte finish screens on front and back.......Good luck

The smoke back has some transparency, although on the black iPhone it looks black from many angles. When looking at it direction however without glare you can see the Apple logo and the iPhone information etched in the back. Overall, it is the best cover product I have owned.

I have the iPhone 5,not the 5s.From what I understand, the difference between the 5 & the 5s involves software capabilities, and doesn't involve outer physical differences. However, having said that, I really am not sure if I am speaking the truth. If you have an Apple store in your area, I would encourage you to visit them or pose your question online at iTunes. They are always more than happy to answer your questions. Getting back to the Charlie Brown and Snoopy Christmas iPhone 5 case, I really like it and it fits well on the iPhone 5. It's easy to install and remove. It's made well and looks durable. If it will fit your iPhone 5s, I think you will really like it!

Personally, I think that the black rim looks nice and is not very noticeable on any color phone. I have a purple S4 and the black rim of the case is not an issue for me.

Very good observation! The area around the flash is the same color as the plastic mount to hold the phone. With the Black leather it's black, in the red and brown, it's white. I have the brown case and there is definitely reflection off the case. I took a black sharpie and blacked the inside part around the flash. Not noticeable with the phone in the case and eliminates most of the bounce back. However, I think this is a problem with leather cases generally where the flash is as much as 1/8" deep in the case. There will be some bounce-back against the edge of the case. Had the same problem with a prior 4S case (which was black) and it took me a couple days to figure out that was the problem.

No one has ever said anything about the voice clarity. I don't think there is any problem. I still think it is the best case out there for the Iphone 5. I also bought one for my Iphone 4 also.

I bought the 5G black screen for my iPhone 5. It fit, but it was pretty snug. I've read on the reviews here that some people had varying luck in getting theirs to fit.

The model I bought was the smoke gray. The back is a matte, gray translucent color, while the sides are a glossy translucent gray. Note the listing on Amazon combines 2 different styles of case. One is the Explorer which appears bulkier and comes with a kick stand. My style is the matte smoke grey. My style also comes in White and Frost, but I do not have personal experience with their looks.

I purchased the one that was clear and black and yes mine is clear so you can see the color of the phone. I'm not sure if they make a version that is black on the back or not.

I have a dark blue S3 but yeah the left side of the line on the back is kind of frosted looking and the right side is totally clear so it does look pretty cool!

I have the clear case. The case is clear on the sides but the back is more of a frosted look. It is not perfectly clear like glass. The Apple logo on the back of the phone is still visible but just barely. It's as if you are looking through a frosted beer glass.

No it's very light weight and very little thickness. I have the white moto x and went with the smoke gray. Love the combo

The clear/frost back of the case causes a slight glow on dark pictures. I tested this and saw a difference in the pictures. Its not a deal killer, but if it is something that would bother you get the black back. The case overall is great.

I love the camera on the new iPhone 5s!!!!! There is an opening on the back for the camera lens and the flash so no problems. I also love the cover / holder for the phone -- it protects it better than any other case/holder that I have had for other iPhones
